Business Arising from the Previous Minutes

2.1. The Business Arising items from the last meeting were reviewed. These are covered below

Action Items Status from April 25 Meeting:

Junior Tournament – Howie to look into what is needed to make the Junior Tournament a sanctioned tournament with Tennis BC – OUTSTANDING

New Business

It was reported that due to increased workload, Play Director Angie Higgs has resigned from the Board with immediate effect. Her picture and credentials have been removed from the website.

There was discussion as to the replacement of her position by Sue Cannon. It was proposed that Janos Stiasny should come onto the board as a full voting director, but in the position of marketing. It was also suggested that Sue Cannon form a play committee and that she should head the committee.

A motion was made by Ron Carr to appoint Janos Stiasny to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Angie Higgs, to be in charge of marketing. This was passed unanimously.

A motion was subsequently made by George Sim to appoint Sue Cannon as chair of the play committee.

Director’s Reports

President – Marion Shaw – It was reported that our website was the target of a Phishing Scam which ultimately caused a director to react to it, losing $1000 in the process, A decision was made and implemented to take all personal information off of the Executive page of the website.

It was suggested that the the club general email address of capilanotennisclub@gmail.com be added to each Executive’s name. Marion will follow up.

Several changes have been made to the website. The social tennis protocols are now posted. A discussion about afternoon tea was held and it was decided that most Saturdays, a simple tea & cookies would be available. However, from time to time, we may feature a “Special Tea” by members who volunteer to do so. There would be a $5 charge for this.

As Jeff Sparling had not received the signed AGM Minutes from the Past President, the question arose about who files the annual reports and is the required information contained therin, accurate? Ron Carr made it clear that it was necessary in order to be in compliance with the Act as all corporations and Not For Profit’s must file. Marion Shaw will contact Jeff Sparling to determine who filed the reports in the past.
